The Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF), in collaboration with King Salman Global Academy for Arabic Language (KSGAAL), has launched the “SIDF Terminology Dictionary”, an initiative aimed at enhancing the clarity and precision of the terms used in SIDF’s operations and ensuring their alignment with applicable systems and policies. This launch coincides with the World Arabic Language Day, in celebration of the Arabic language and its role in expressing concepts of industry and development.

The first edition of the dictionary includes more than 170 terms and definitions in both Arabic and English, covering financial, industrial, advisory, legal, and knowledge-related fields. It also features a dedicated section for abbreviations and the linguistic roots of selected words, enriching Arabic content with specialized terminology and strengthening its linguistic and knowledge value.

The dictionary aims to broaden understanding of SIDF’s terminology among those interested in its activities while serving as an official reference for both internal and external audiences. It also targets researchers, partners, clients, and professionals engaged with SIDF, providing a unified knowledge tool that enhances effective communication and standardizes language use across diverse and varied contexts.

The dictionary features an interactive design that allows readers to easily access information, browse terms, and search for definitions in a clear and seamless manner. It is available through SIDF website via the following link (https://bit.ly/SIDF_Dictionary), where SIDF will continue to develop and update its content to reflect ongoing changes, advancements, and transformations in the industrial sector.
